While I don't believe taxpayers should be supporting illegal aliens, I also don't think it's currently the massive give-away this person seems to think it is. I don't support any amnesty that would qualify long-time illegal aliens for significant monetary benefits, unless said illegal aliens also have to pay their backtaxes first. But I also don't know of any proposed legislation *with significant support* that would create such a give-away. I'm also amused at his complaints about off-shoring. Last I knew, that was something done by companies, not by congress. To me, this video mainly demonstrates that an ill-informed jingoist can still dress up in period costume and make a video. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
